CALL stands for Computer Assisted Language Learning. Learning Processes and activities that employ computers in the teaching and learning of a new language.
It includes a wide range of activities spanning materials and courseware development, pedagogical practice and research. Mark Warschauer in his article titled 'Computer Assisted Language Learning: an Introduction' talks about Three Phases of CALL.

MALL is a subset of both Mobile Learning (m-learning) and computer-assisted language learning (CALL). MALL has evolved to support students’ language learning with the increased use of mobile technologies such as mobile phones (cellphones), MP3 and MP4 players, PDAs and devices such as the iPhone or iPad. With MALL, students are able to access language learning materials and to communicate with their teachers at any time, anywhere.
